Charcoal paiinting of clouds above - by Manju Panchal

Charcoal Painting on Scholar drawing paper

Last week when I was down in my residential complex waiting for a friend to arrive, I looked up at

the sky and the composition of the clouds in the sky looked very appealing. The very dark clouds were

so low and the setting sun was reflecting light on the clouds above.So I clicked a photograph

using my mobile. The photo was not very clear but I wanted to use it as my next subject to create

a charcoal painting on Scholar drawing paper.

I used SCHOLAR drawing paper quite some time back when I was doing my portraits in charcoal.

When I started the initial drawing and shading it looked simple but as I began the shading and blending
I realised that I had to take care of perspective and all the different layers of shadows. Nevertheless I enjoyed doing it. I used CHUNKY CHARCOAL from CRETACOLOUR and CONTE charcoal pencil. Since it is more of a study work for me I did it on a small sized paper.

ABOUT ME

Passionate about ART since childhood. Graduated in science and later in life took to brushes and pencils, drawing and painting different subjects in a realistic way. My love for travelling and being in different beautiful places inspired me further to capture the beauty of nature on paper and canvas. Created this blog to share my love of art, my experiments with different mediums and to get in touch with people who think, breathe and live art just the way I do.

It was my DREAM to draw, sketch and paint and I AM LIVING MY DREAM by painting almost every day of my life.
